jewelry box

This piece was another mixed media project. I took a wood box I bought at Hobby Lobby and painted it black


then I cut out some words on my Cricut 
next I tried my hand ay some simple quilling

I then assembled them in the recessed lid of the box and used quartz chip and resin to create the lid

Then I decoupaged the sides of the box and covered it with modge podge

Here is the stage before it s finished
I am sorry to say I cannot find the picture of the finished project.

I am sure I will be doing another on in the future. This one was a prize at an event in Kansas last year

Trees for the Festival

Image
As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts. Here is the process I went though this year for the two large trees and one small tree that I decorated for the Festival of Trees First I measured the spaces needed down in my basement game /family area. This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights. Then I put some of the ornaments on, the tree topper on, and the tree skirt around it to check how I am planning it to look. Next I stack the boxes I am going to wrap to had depth and high to the display Then I put out he other items I have that go with the tree theme. This one was a Hogwarts Christmas, of course.

Retreat!

I am hoping to get the bids back any day now, so I can decide and get thing officially started. The preplan for this retreat is that it will have at least 4-6 craft sessions (one jewelry, one leather working,  something with greeting cards, the rest are still in the finalization process). We retreat will include a welcome party and a little shopping experience from some of our teachers and others on thursday night with some edible treats!
